Editor: Maxim Jakubowski

Deadline: February 15th, 2014
Payment: £75 per story, which at current exchange rate is approx $120.
Rights sought: non exclusive World English language anthology rights only
This is the longest-running best short stories of the year anthology. I am seeking submissions of stories previously published, whether in print, digitally or online, during calendar year 2013.
Any length up to 8,000 words. although am NOT into ‘quickies’ (ie under 2,000 words or so) unless they are truly exceptional. I also occasionally accept unpublished material, but that tends to be from established authors in the field so tend to be very selective in that particular area.
As to what I like, my tastes are known to be idiosyncratic, but I refer you to any of the previous 18 volumes of the The Mammoth Erotica series (there were six unnumbered volumes before we switched to numbering them) or other anthologies I’ve edited. I’m broadminded, but tend to prefer strong characterisation and some modicum of plot as opposed to merely mood pieces.
Submit by mail as tear sheets, manuscripts or photocopies (NOT e-mail, please as I cannot face the prospect of reading over a thousand or so submissions on a computer screen).
Multiple submissions are OK, but not more than three at a time, please. If I accept your story, I will then require it as Word document at a later date only.
